Throwing the bums out has been tried. The public mood gets that way every so often, and sometimes significant shifts occur.

It seems to me, though, after years of thinking about it, that the real change needs to be in the seniority based system that both parties use to award the plum legislative positions. The current system gives all the leadership power in congress to save-seat people, who are nearly always (right or left) the least representative of the nation as a whole.

I’d say, throw the bums out of leadership. Find some way to force congress to submit their leadership choices to a national public referendum. We have the technology. The people who would be interested in voting in such a process would be, by definition, more informed.

Justs a thought.
